I am reading your books on Kindle Unlimited, do you actually make money from that? I am doing the free month, but was considering paying each month. I wanted to make sure it actually helps writers before I do.

It's so very thoughtful of you to ask - thank you so much. I do make money from it!
Amazon has a big pot of money that gets divided up at the end of each month depending on how many books each author has had borrowed. The royalties aren't quite as large as if I simply just sold them myself but, as a reader as well as an author, I think it's a great thing. There are probably a lot of readers out there willing to take a chance on a book now that they might not actually have 'bought' as such in the past for themselves. And I get to read a lot more books myself too!

I just wanted to thank you for the Highland Magic series. It was my first foray into your writing and I love the whole gang. As an avid reader I rarely find books I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment of but I did with this series. I'm sad it's over but I've now discovered you as a new writer to read and oh the joy at seeing you have other series' as well. Where will we go next?
